Ele-Fant Bakery — Restaurant in Danbury

I was there shortly before they closed. Although there were no other customers there, the staff was busy cleaning the restaurant thoroughly. The establishment caters to Brazilian customers + their food/bakery preferences. Frankly, my Spanish is poor + my Portuguese is even worse; I experienced a little communication difficulty.

The dining area is spacious + the parking is plentiful. The building is free standing + set back from the street. If you don't know what you're looking for, you wouldn't even notice the building.

I always like to scope out a restaurant's menu before I go. However, even though they theoretically have a web site, it provides almost no information: no menu, no pricing...odd.

This business most definitely is geared to a niche market. Personally, I'm not interested in the foods they offer, so I shan't return. Yet, I highly recommend it to people who are looking for homemade, comfort food from their own culture. Food is plentiful and...

Food price / quality (value) rating 9.5. The atmosphere is "cafe style" bakery. I've been here at least 10 times in the last two years. This bakery has been at this location for decades. A few years ago, new owners took over and turned this into one of the best bakeries in the area. A very large selection of very fresh breads and almost every sweet baked good you've ever heard of. Clean, with several tables for those who'd like to eat-in, friendly service included at no extra charge. I frequently get the large French bread (photo) because it makes the BEST French toast I've ever eaten! Recipe: Cut 1 inch thick slices Soak completely in egg / Half-and-Half mix Frying pan w/butter on VERY LOW heat Cook for 1/2 hour each side

There are usually several people waiting to order, so allow a few extra minutes to get your prize! Highly...

Honestly I am highly upset. I went in there this morning for a water $2.50 and three little coxinha minis that she charged me $2.40. I then went to padaminas right after where their prices for a big water was $2.50 and a big coxinha cost me $3.00. Also they charge you $10 for a regular juices at elefant where at padaminas I was charged $7. The bacon egg and cheese is about $10 it’s highly taxed and not even that great. How do you guys charge so much when you have other bakeries selling it for less, way better and way tastier. They need to update their menu. What a waste of money this place is. It used to be a great spot and decent prices but after the new management it...
